Abstract

A stereoscopic imaging device, wherein the aperture controller performs a second aperture control in which the larger the amount of shake detected by the shake detector becomes, the further the amount of opening of the aperture unit increases than the amount of opening required for the first aperture control. The present invention allows to shallow a depth of focus and to increase the amount of parallax by further opening an aperture as the amount of shake becomes larger, so that an influence on a parallax is reduced even when the amount of shake is large, thereby maintaining a stereoscopic effect.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A stereoscopic imaging device, comprising:
an imaging unit capable of outputting a pair of images having a parallax, by pupil-dividing a light flux from an object into two light fluxes and imaging the two light fluxes onto two photoelectric conversion element groups corresponding to each flux to photoelectrically convert the two light fluxes;
an aperture unit capable of adjusting an amount of light flux imaged onto the photoelectric conversion elemen…
